@jfr_1980@mastodon.social @Mastodon@mastodon.social @matrix@mastodon.matrix.org I also think this is the ideal tech stack, since private messaging on activitypub has a terrible UX and is insecure; XMPP requires extra steps to be E2EE. But why not just join one of the existing home servers and communicate your handle in your mastodon profile? What do you see as an advantage if mastodon offers the service directly?

@jfr_1980@mastodon.social Instead of adopting a whole other protocol, it's more ideal for ActivityPub to implement some existing encryption method; there is already work in place, like https://wedistribute.org/2026/02/fediverse-e2ee-coming/ .
